• Is The Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer 7-Blade to 6-Pin Connector Adapter Missing Center a Pin?
  The Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Nite-Glow # HM47053 does not have a center pin on the 7-way connector since the 6-pin connector does not have a pin for the reverse lights. Since the pin would go to nothing they leave the pin out. It will not affect the use of this adapter.
